Kourabiedes – Recipe from Koukakis Farm

Time

90''

Difficulty

Portions

25-30

500 g fresh Koukakis Farm butter
130 g powdered sugar
1 kg sifted flour
5 vanilla pods
250 g toasted and coarsely ground almonds
1/2 shot cognac (optional)
1 tsp level baking powder
Powdered sugar for dusting

We beat the butter with the sugar.
Once the butter and sugar are fluffy, add the vanilla pods and flour.
Next, gradually add the baking powder and cognac.
Knead very well until a pliable dough forms.
Toast the almonds until coarsely ground, not powdered, and place them in a pan.
Shape the kourabiedes into walnut-sized pieces, about 30 g each.
Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated fan oven at 175°C for about 20 to 25 minutes, depending on the oven.
Once warm, dust them with powdered sugar.
